Temps was around 36 degrees but hey gotta start the year out right so off I went to meet up with my Riding Group. Springfield Chapter of Retreads International. Met up at The Hook & Ladder Pizza.
Put a whopping 18 miles on for the day but it was all good.

My bike has that huge Windshield and on these cold days it is a blessing. [emoji2]MadCow wrote:That's too cold to ride in....heated grips or not.

Now heated grips would be good. For me the only thing that was really cold... Fingers.

Thanks for the pics. [emoji106]
Got out today for about 40 miles. Felt good. Lately it seems the first bike I head for is the Superlow. Shorter warm up time with the FI.
